[hema vasudevan]

Hi, I am a beginner. I have a few simple queries.
If i have VS 2008 Service Pack, then do i need to install something more for making WPF applications?
And one more query that is it necessaery to have WPF for making silverlight applications?
Does silverlight work in conjunction with WPF?

No, that is all you need for creating WPF applications. For creating Silverlight applications, the easiest way is to use Expression Blend. If you just use VS, all you will get is a XAML editor with no real WYSIWYG capabilities.

You can learn more here on how to get started with Silverlight development: http://www.kirupa.com/blend_silverlight/getting_started_silverlight.htm

You don't need WPF to make SL applications, and what do you mean by "does silverlight work in conjunction with WPF?" :)
